CARDIOLOGIST

Cardiology is the branch of medicine dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of heart and vascular diseases. Cardiologists handle a wide range of conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, hypertension, and valvular heart disease. They use various diagnostic tools, such as electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms, stress tests, and cardiac catheterization, to evaluate heart function and guide treatment.

Advancements in cardiology have significantly improved patient outcomes, with innovations such as minimally invasive procedures, advanced imaging techniques, and new medications. Cardiologists work closely with other healthcare professionals, including cardiac surgeons and dietitians, to provide comprehensive care. Preventive cardiology is also a key focus, emphasizing lifestyle changes, risk factor management, and early intervention to prevent heart disease and promote cardiovascular health.
